Craftsmen Specification Joint and Crack Prevention
Craftsmen Specification Slot Drain , Grades and Elevation Adjustments
Surface drainage plays a lot into design and enables the geometry to appear correct . Flat , uniform planes maintain more easily and offer far less maintenance than projects with swales and uneven geometry . Engineered joint plans need to be included along with surface drainage . The running bond pattern on this particular project has a unique jointing and doweling program along with columns that projected onto paving field patterns which introduce re-entrant corners . To prevent cracking , Shaw & Sons Craftsmen Specification included unique pour patterns , with isolation and retainment details , hinge slabs , and column reinforcement details .
